Is There Such a Thing as a 'Quicky' Divorce?

Family lawyer Andrew Newbury explains what the media mean by the term 'quickie divorce'. If you require assistance with a divorce or any other marital issue, please call the family solicitors at Slater and Gordon Lawyers on freephone 0800 916 9055 or visit http://www.slatergordon.co.uk/family-and-personal-matters/

[MUSIC PLAYING] The term "quickie divorce" is quite misleading. In fact, it's been around for about 40 years. And most divorces these days are quickie divorces. About 99% of divorces are uncontested. Most people don't ever go to court over their divorce, and it's all agreed. So when you read about, say a celebrity getting divorced in the newspapers and it says, yes, they were divorced in 30 seconds, all that is is the decree nisi of divorce being pronounced. Their name will have been read out in court that day with everybody else going through the decree nisi. So it's a simple process, and unless you have problems over the divorce, yours probably will be a quickie divorce too. [MUSIC PLAYING]
